PROJECT OFFICER – ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTRy

The European Union (EU) is the largest provider of development aid accounting for over 50% of grant assistance provided to the world’s poorest countries. The European Commission (EC), the executive arm of the EU, manages a substantial part of this assistance notably trough its network of country offices or delegations.
The Delegation of the European Commission to Indonesia, located in Jakarta, has been assisting the Government of Indonesia in a wide range of environmental activities over the past 20 years providing grants of over €125 million. Examples of the projects funded by the EC include the Leuser Development Project which has protected one of the last remaining areas of undisturbed forest in Sumatra; the Illegal Logging Center which worked with the Ministry of Forestry to conserve and manage 3 internationally renowned National Parks; and the Sustainable Development of Irrigated Agriculture Project in North Bali. Other projects funded by the EC cover sustainable forest management, good governance in, water resource management and forest and land fire prevention.

In addition to the above large-scale projects the Delegation of the EC also manages a wide range of smaller projects aimed specifically at forestry and the environment. Such projects are managed by NGOs, universities or community groups and provide a flexible and rapid response to emerging environmental problems.
